Signal Hill Lodge

I liked the fact that the atmosphere of the lodge was warm and provided many out of room facilities; giving it a feeling of home away from home.

Wifey and I spent three nights here prior to a group motorbike tour. It is a modern, nicely decorated hotel in a multi, step level, style going down the face of a steep hill overlooking Cape Town. Reception is at the top level with a comfy sitting area dominated by a piano. Beyond that is a meeting room with the highest viewpoint. There is also a small gated car park accessed from Military Road. On the next level down are the 300 numbered rooms and the dining area which has the view alongside an outside terrace/eating area. The 200 numbered rooms share the next floor down with the kitchen and the lowest floor houses the 100 rooms plus access to the lower pedestrian gate that opens onto the road at the upper end of the Bo-Kaap district. This gate iand access to it from the hotel is locked and staff need to let you out. Beware if you order an Uber or Scooteroo to deliver to the Signal Hill Lodge this is where they will turn up so always quote the Military Road address. We were in Room 205 with the view. We had an issue with the shower screen that was fixed as soon as we reported it and they helped us with the room safe when Wifey locked it wrongly. Beyond that the room had a double bed with a foot either side and two feet at the foot at the foot of it. The French window opening on to our small but private balcony was to the right of the bed. The wardrobe and desk are to the left and at the foot of the bed was the Tea table and TV on the wall above it and the left to right a small recantgular bathroom. With a shower, sink and toilet. All in all not bad but but not very big considering the price. My biggest criticism is with breakfast and the super slow staff who couldn't get our requests right, took one or two orders at a time, took them to the kitchen and eventually returned. It was a complete shambles. Don't pay for it. Eat elsewhere else.

Very clean people at reception very helpful friendly and kitchen staff place absolutely clean and it was not our 1st visitor stay at the lodge

Most staff members were kind and helpful. Peter was very helpful, and went the extra mile to resolve issues. Clean pool and a well maintained garden. They have onsite laundry facilities

The location is stunning, the staff is friendly and helpful. Great value for money booked 1 night and then extended by another night. The pool is an extra bonus the water was clean and refreshing. There is an elevator but note you must use stairs to the pool. The views from the balcony are breathtaking.
